Jeju Open Mystery Bounty (900,000 KRW)

Dead on arrival, Zhang gets up before the dealer flips over the insignificant 3♠ , more than doubling his career live earnings and making Weiwi Tang the new KPC Mystery Bounty Champion.

Hand #57: Button Weiwi Tang lays out 325,000, but folds when Zong Chi He puts out a massive three-bet.

Hand #58: Small blind He limps and Tang takes the offer for a free 3♥ 5♣ 8♥ flop that gets checked to the Q♣ turn. Tang's 160,000 bet gets called before he takes it down on the river 4♦ with another 425,000 that goes unanswered.

Hand #59: Button He opens 325,000 once more and big blind Baofeng Zhang defends to see the flop 2♠ 5♠ 7♠ where Zhang folds to a 300,000 c-bet.

Hand #60: Small blind Zhang limps, He opts for a free flop that gets checked to the river 7♦ 9♥ 4♠ 2♦ J♥ where Zhang forks out a 250,000 bet that gets the job done.

Everybody likes a chop, except the dealer who tables 2♦ Q♥ Q♣ Q♦ 4♦ , giving Zhang a flush to break the tie.

The board runs 8♠ 2♦ 2♥ T♥ , putting Tang on the brink of elimination, but the river 9♥ draws him back to solid ground, taking a huge double up with a last minute straight.

No help for Shih - 3rd place finisher of last KPCs Jeju Cup for $18K - on Q♦ Q♣ 8♥ 6♣ 5♣ and one of the most aggressive players on the final table leaves the field.

Hand #44: Button Baofeng Zhang raises to 245,000 and big blind Weiwi Tang defends to see the flop 2♣ 9♦ J♥ where Zhang's 180,000 continuation does the trick.

Hand #45: Under the gun Zhang makes it 245,000 again and big blind King Lun Shih fills up for the flop K♠ T♠ 6♣ to hit the felt. Zhang's 200,000 c-bet gets called, the turn T♥ is checked to the 2♠ river and another 225,000 from Zhang goes unanswered.

Hand #46: Small blind Shih takes back some with a 1,600,000 jam and Zhang lets it go.

Hand #40: Zong Chi He makes it 400,000 from the small blind to collect the dead money.

Hand #41: Weiwi Tang does the same with a 2,700,000 jam.

Hand #42: First to act He opens 240,000 and big blind Baofeng Zhang defends before folding to a 200,000 c-bet from He on the A♥ 2♦ 2♠ flop.

Hand #43: Zhang limps his small blind and He opts to check for the J♣ 8♣ 9♦ to hit the felt which gets rejected for a free 2♥ turn. Zhang leads 250,000 and gets called, the board completes J♥ and Zhang is back to a check. He just hit trips with Q♠ J♠ and determines 850,000 is the best size for a value bet and gets paid by Zhang with T♣ 8♦ .

Another board of blanks on 2♦ 3♦ T♥ 2♠ 5♥ keeps Zhang ahead and sends Chen home who adds at least another KRW 10 million (~$7,273) for drawing the 3rd biggest bounty just before the final table started.

Hand #18: Another min-raise from Baofeng Zhang gets called by big blind Weiwi Tang and gets checked down once more on 5♥ K♥ 2♠ K♠ 8♣ with Zhang's A♥ 3♦ beating Tang's Q♦ 4♦ .

Hand #19: Button King Lun Shih wants 160,000, but lets it go after Zhang increased to 390,000 from the small blind.

Hand #20: First to act Yu Han Su lays out 160,000 and takes two customers to the T♦ J♦ J♠ flop that gets rejected for a free turn K♠ where button Zhang puts out a feeler for 160,000 and only big blind Tang sticks around. The board completes J♣ and Zhang's 500,000 is enough to get the job done.

Hand #17: Under the gun Baofeng Zhang min-raises, small blind Qingshan Yao jams 170,000, big blind King Lun Shih calls and Zhang does the same. The board A♥ 7♦ 3♥ J♦ 5♥ receives a friendly check down from the two big stacks and Yao's Q♥ 5♣ is good enough against Zhang's Q♠ 8♠ and Shih's 6♠ 3♦ .

Hand #7: Baofeng Zhang opens 125,000 from the hijack with 8♠ 3♠ and finds no callers.

Hand #8: Zhang lays out 125,000 again from +2 and big blind Qingshan Yao defends to lay eyes on the flop 3♥ 8♦ 2♣ where he calls Zhangs 100,000 c-bet before folding to a 250,000 second barrel on the 7♥ turn.

Hand #5: Button Baofeng Zhang opens 125,000 with 3♣ 2♣ and big blind Weiwi Tang defends holding A♦ 9♥ to see the flop 2♥ 6♦ T♠ where Zhang continues for 90,000 and Tang calls. The turn 4♦ and river 9♠ get checked down and Tang picks up a small pot.

Baofeng Zhang is absolutely in control, but Zong Chi He has position on him and is arguably the strongest player left in the field. This makes for a great Final 9 with lots of interesting hands to come!

Peng Deng is in great shape, dominating the chip leader, but that hasn't meant much today as it doesn't this time when the dealer immediately delivers the three outer for Zhang on 2♥ K♠ 4♣ Q♠ 3♠ , making Peng Deng - who started the day in 4th and was among the top stacks most of the day - the bubble boy and giving Zhang an even more commanding lead.

Gao's heart skips a beat when the dealer tables Q♣ J♠ Q♠ A♠ , giving Zhang a flush that puts him on the edge of elimination, but a lovely look in the dealer's eyes is enough to make her conjure up an ace from space on the river A♦ to keep him alive.

Under the gun King Lun Shih opens 80,000 and calls after Baofeng Zhang increased the fee to 200,000 from the button to see the 8♥ K♣ 6♣ flop. Shih check calls a 150,000 c-bet, the turn 7♣ hits the felt and a 350,000 second barrel from Zhang is enough to make Shih fold, who loses two time banks in the process.

Everything is looking peachy for Huang on 5♥ 2♠ 8♥ 8♠ , getting ready to collect two bounties and a massive jump on the leaderboard before the dealer turns it pear shaped on the river K♠ , handing Chen a quadruple up with a flush and granting Zhang a huge side pot with top pair.

Chien Yu Lin finishes 15th KRW 2,450,000 (~$1,790) and Zhenfang Huang collects a pay jump in 14th for KRW 2,970,000 (~$2,170).

Baofeng Zhang is still ahead on table 32 and Peng Deng Dominates table 33.

Baofeng Zhang wants 30,000 from +1, but decides to let it go when hijack Zhenfang Huang upped it to 90,000, granting him his 3rd consecutive pot without a showdown.
